Harvest — Fine Art

Harvest - 1976 uses poured paint that spreads across the sheet in loose bands of earth tone. The work reads as a field of thin colour with soft edges when you stand back. Up close the paper fibres show through the stain technique.

The frame finish can follow the room tone around it. A light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture lets the painted area sit without drawing attention to the edge.

In a hallway with a steady lamp overhead the soft colour fields stay even and the painted edges read clearly. The mark of Helen Frankenthaler shows as a stain on the page. A fine art print of this abstract colour field painting holds its calm tone on a dining room wall.
